Limerick man named Ireland's 'most unromantic'

A Limerick man who bought his wife a memory foam pillow and a €10 car wash for Christmas has been named Ireland’s Most Unromantic Man 2012.

The award, given by the Cyprus Tourism Organisation, has gone to Gary Constable, who was nominated by his long-suffering wife Katrena.

Katrena also revealed that, while together on holiday in the US, Gary decided they should spend $57 getting married at the New York registry office, with two witnesses who could barely speak English, in order to save money on an engagement, wedding and honeymoon.

The pair will now enjoy a 'late' honeymoon in Cyprus, where they are to spend a week in a luxury hotel as part of their prize.
